What Schurco Slurry does

Schurco Slurry, operating through Schur & Company, LLC, is a privately held US manufacturer of heavy-duty centrifugal slurry pumps headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. Founded in 1975 as S & H Machinery Corporation by Frederick "Fred" Schur and John Harris, the company pivoted from rotating-equipment repair into pump manufacturing, was acquired by Nicholas Schur in 2001, and rebranded as Schurco Slurry in 2008. Operations are consolidated at a 150,000 sq ft headquarters and manufacturing campus in Jacksonville, supported by 145,000 sq ft of warehouse inventory expanded in 2024 and a 2025 office expansion adding 10 offices and a larger conference room.

The company's core products are seven distinct centrifugal slurry pump series — S, L, H, V, U, Z, and P — each engineered for a specific duty profile ranging from abrasive hard-rock mining to high-head dewatering, coarse-solids dredging, and sump pumping. Complementing the pumps are metal spare parts produced with 27-28% high-chrome metallurgy (650+ Brinell hardness) and elastomer spares in natural rubber, neoprene, hypalon, EPDM, nitrile, butyl, and urethane, plus pump refurbishment and bearing exchange/repair services backed by Timken, SKF, and FAG bearings. Engineering is executed in Jacksonville using SolidWorks 3D modeling and FaroArm reverse engineering, with performance validated in an in-house centrifugal pump test lab.

Schurco Slurry reaches customers through a hybrid direct-sales and channel model: a US-based outside and inside sales team (Phil Studer, Todd Smith, Linda Schaeffer, John Madej) handles enterprise accounts, while 67-69 authorized distributors and regional hubs in Johannesburg, Europe, and the UAE — plus dedicated sales offices in Santiago, Chile and Chihuahua, Mexico — serve customers across hard-rock mining (copper, iron ore, gold, zinc, nickel), industrial minerals (frac sands, phosphate, sand and gravel), power generation, pulp and paper, dredging, and dewatering applications in approximately 50 countries. Revenue is generated primarily through quote-based hardware sales of pumps and replacement parts, with ancillary professional services revenue from refurbishment and bearing exchange programs; pricing is opaque and negotiated transactionally through sales representatives and authorized distributors.

Products and services

• S Series Slurry Pump Heavy-duty end-suction, split-case centrifugal slurry pump designed for abrasive mining and industrial applications. Features large shaft diameters, heavy-duty bearing assemblies, and customizable metallic and elastomeric wet-end parts. Targeted at hard rock mining, mineral processing, and industrial slurry transport.
• L Series Slurry Pump High-efficiency lined slurry pump engineered for low-to-medium head, high-volume slurry transport. Delivers wider flow rate range, lower life cycle costs, and impellers achieving 90+% efficiency with adjustable impeller clearance. Targeted at mining and industrial applications requiring high-volume slurry handling.
• H Series Slurry Pump Robust high-head slurry pump for long-distance and high-pressure applications. Provides 325 ft heads with single-pump operation and features extensive exterior ribbing for high heads and heavy-duty wear parts. Used for filter press feeds, mine dewatering, pipeline transport, and tailings.
• V Series Slurry Pump Fully cantilevered vertical slurry pump for sumps, pits, and tanks. Operates without submerged bearings or seals, eliminating primary failure mechanisms. Features double suction impellers with configurable range and optional recessed impeller and suction agitator. Used for sump and tank applications.
• U Series Slurry Pump Cost-effective unlined slurry pump engineered for easy maintenance and extended service life. Uses extra-thick high-chrome alloy casing hardened to 650+ Brinell with same hydraulic performance profiles as lined S and L Series. Targeted at operators prioritizing maintenance simplicity.
• Z Series Slurry Pump Severe-duty gravel and dredge pump for coarse solids or large-particle slurry applications. Features large-volume internal profile casing, three-component design for reduced maintenance, and segmented clamp ring allowing casing rotation to any angle. Targeted at dredging and aggregate operators.
• P Series Slurry Pump Process slurry pump engineered for longer wear life than typical process pumps. Achieves heads over 50% higher than standard slurry pumps. Designed for dirty water and light slurry applications with slurry-specific gravities of approximately 1.05. Used for mine dewatering and water processing.
